State police said Saturday that Eric Frein was not the person who stole a Porsche sedan from the Poconos that was later found abandoned in upstate New York.

The 2012 Porsche Cayman was taken from the Pocono Mountain area about a week ago and located in Bovina, N.Y. Police did not say how they determined Frein was not connected to the stolen car or provide other information about the incident.

Frein is charged in the killing of state police Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson II, 38, of Dunmore, and the wounding Trooper Alex T. Douglass, 31, of Olyphant, in a Sept. 12 ambush outside the Blooming Grove barracks in Pike County.

Police have been looking for Frein, 31, of Canadensis for six weeks, focusing on wooded areas on the border of Monroe and Pike counties near Frein's home.

On Saturday morning, state police spokeswoman Connie Devens said Frein had been ruled out in connection to the stolen vehicle. She gave no further information about the manhunt Saturday and said no news conferences were scheduled.

Just who is Eric Frein? We know he is accused of fatally shooting a Pennsylvania state trooper and wounding another in an ambush outside the Blooming Grove barracks on Sept. 12. But did anyone really know Frein?

State police say Frein initially fled in an SUV on Route 402. The SUV was found in a pond a few miles from the barracks. Since then, police say they have found numerous items of Frein's in the woods.

Last weekend, a woman reported seeing a muddy-faced man fitting Frein's description outside Pocono Mountain East High School with a rifle. On Monday, a law enforcement officer reported seeing a man resembling Frein near a Swiftwater post office, less than a half-mile from the high school.

In response to those reports, more troopers have been shifted southwest to the Mount Pocono-Swiftwater area.
